BA to resume services to Saudi Arabia

British Airways is to resume flights to Saudi Arabia, with five services
a week from its London Heathrow hub to both Jeddah and Riyadh from 29
March. It will serve Riyadh with Boeing 777s, and Jeddah with 767s.

BA suspended operations to Saudi Arabia in March 2005 because of the poor
commercial performance of its flights, but the country has remained on the oneworld
network through flights by other member airlines. Royal Jordanian serves
both Jeddah and Riyadh along with Dammam with Riyadh also receiving Cathay
Pacific flights.
